The answer is C. large changes in allele frequencies can occur in a short time.

Genetic drift is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population as a result of random sampling of organisms and it decreases genetic variation of the population. In specific circumstances, large and rapid changes in allele frequencies can occur in a short time. The smaller the population, the more susceptible it is to genetic drift.

satela [25.4K]
<span>Archaeas and Bacterias are both Prokaryotes. Both used to be classified in Monera kingdom, but later genetists found that they have actually very different genes, despite they both have a similar metabolism. So they think they have a totally different evolutionary origin and they decided to classify them in 2 different domains. The other domain, Eukarya, includes every other organism (all the ones who are not Prokaryots), which are: plants, animals, fungi and protists.</span>
